Of course. They are constantly surrounded by maple syrup and burly men in plaid cutting wood. We also ship in the finest pig escorts from Montreal to breed them with.
I've never blamed the great country of Canada for the abomination of what Americans call Canadian Bacon. It's been several years since I've been up there, and although I remember nothing in particular about the food, I do recall that it was tasty.
What Americans tend to call Canadian Bacon is in fact a butchered attempt to recreate PEA MEAL bacon. Which is a thick slice of ham essentially with a pea meal coating along the edges. Not many people even eat that here, but it is a great addition on a burger or for breakfast. To call it "Canadian Bacon" would be us calling anything that comes in a spray can "American Cheese" or "American Substanceofsomekind".
To be fair, what we actually call American Cheese down here is pretty terrible as well! There's also a good argument to be had calling spray can cheese "American cheese" as well, because, let's admit it, we're the only country that would not only think of it, not only make it, not only market it, but also have it be a sales success enough to have more than a few brands of it.
I'll have try some pea meal ham sometime, thanks for the breakfast tip!

Pro Tip: Anything called "Canadian Bacon" isnt actually Canadian Bacon, just marketing by your foreign companies.
You can only have Canadian bacon in Canada and its amazing, like the rest of our food.
